Overview
Heizou is the number one Tenryou Commission detective, harboring a rivalry with the Bantan Sango Detective Agency's Sango. In Heizou's youth, he was rebellious and disliked following rules. Despite calling himself a detective and serving the Tenryou Commission, his investigations revolve around his personal principles and appear to be unrelated to any governmental duty. Heizou's view of the term "detective" mostly stems from his belief that one should be evil's natural enemy, as the damage had already been done despite any attempt to cover it. This caused him to split with Sango. Despite appearing "brainy" to many, Heizou is one of the Tenryou Commission's strongest doushins, using his intuition to solve cases and stop criminals in their tracks. He is also capable of subduing them in melee combat, but he tries to avoid this whenever possible as he sees it as blunt.
His superior, Kujou Sara, dislikes him for this but keeps him nonetheless as he always brings back results. In Thoma's words, Heizou is "not the easiest person to get along with". He enjoys fried food of all sorts.

Confess!
Cyclone!
Can't fool me!
Leaps into the air and uses the Fudou Style Vacuum Slugger and kicks his enemy. The Vacuum Slugger will explode upon hit and create an Arresting Windtunnel that pulls in nearby objects and enemies, dealing AoE Anemo Damage.
When Vacuum Slugger hits enemies affected by Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro, these enemies will be afflicted with Windmuster Iris. This Windmuster Iris will explode after a moment and dissipate, dealing AoE Damage of the corresponding elemental type.
Vacuum Slugger can afflict a maximum of 4 enemies with the Windmuster Iris. A single enemy cannot be under the effect of Windmuster Irises of different elements at the same time.

About Other Characters
This part is about what Shikanoin Heizou thinks about the other characters in Genshin Impact.
Oh, Kazuha? Yeah, he's a solid guy. With his help, I felt like a locked treasure chest of clues had been bust wide open and emptied all over the ground for me to see. If only I had his sensitivity to the natural world... Oh, I get it now! The wind to him must be like my intuition to me!
Ohh... It's such a pity! Since the Vision Hunt Decree's been repealed, I no longer have any grounds to officially arrest him. But then again... I guess now, I can just openly invite him to come to the Tenryou Commission and discuss cases with me.
Madam Kujou Sara? Yeah, that lady's gotta be the most serious person in the entire Tenryou Commission. It would be nice if she could cut us a little slack and give everyone some breathing room — and she's always on my case about my occasional unexplained absences, but what can I say... I just go wherever the evidence leads me.
The Arataki Gang is a free and diverse organization that accepts anyone, regardless of their background. Pretty amazing if you ask me. They're lucky to have Shinobu to help keep them all in line. Hmm? How do I know all this? Haha, I mean... as deductions go, this one was pretty elementary.
I've done a few favors before to deliver Roasted Lavender Melon to him in prison. This one time, I overheard him singing. The lyrics... were complete trash, but I gotta say — he has a pretty good set of pipes. And it's not every day you come across an inmate who's in the mood to sing their heart out.
General Gorou's constant suspicion made my trip to Watatsumi Island much more eventful... Everywhere I went, there were soldiers keeping me under close surveillance. Honestly, I was a regular, boring tourist just like everybody else. So what if I happen to be a detective in my day job? I was clearly minding my own business there.
I've actually never seen Madam Sangonomiya before. Whenever she appears, practically the whole village crowds around her... I'm not about to contend with that. Oh, and even if you made it through all the villagers, there'd still be a circle of shrine maidens around her! For one of us young people to gain that kind of recognition from everyone, it must have taken a lot of work.
Come to think of it, Lady Guuji's publishing house also publishes murder mysteries, right? So... when can you introduce me? In this day and age, becoming a famous detective requires more than just ability — you need publicity, too. Huh? C'mon, I'm being serious here!
I'm barely acquainted with the daughter of the Kamisato Clan. I'm glad that I'm not from some sort of prestigious family like that... it's definitely not the kind of life for me.
